Which is hotter, Canopus or Vega? How much brighter?

1 answer:

4 0

Temperature determines the hotness or coldness. The surface temperature of Canopus is 7350 K. The surface temperature of Vega is 9602 K. Because the surface temperature of Vega is greater than Canopus, Vega is hotter.

Brightness is determined by the star's magnitude. The apparent magnitude of Canopus is (-0.72) and that of Vega is (0.03). we know that, lesser the magnitude, brighter is the star. Hence, Canopus is brighter.

Vega is hotter but Canopus is brighter. This is because, brightness depends on the star's distance and size of the star as well other than the factor temperature.

Answer:

C. amount of charge on the source charge.

Explanation:

Electric field lines can be defined as a graphical representation of the vector field or electric field.

Basically, it was first introduced by Michael Faraday and it is typically a curve drawn to the tangent of a point is in the direction of the net field acting on each point.

The number, or density, of field lines on a source charge indicate the amount of charge on the source charge. Therefore, the density of field lines on a source charge is directly proportional to quantity of charge on the source.

The composition of the protoplanetary disk varies with distance from the protostar due to temperature.

lesantik [10]

Answer:

b) 1. Iron, silicates, carbon

2. Water

3. Methane, Ammonia, Carbon Dioxide.

Explanation:

Protoplanetry disk is the disk of gases and clouds of dust that rotates around the newly made star. The temperature of the protoplanetry disk actually determines the type of the planet that is to be formed. Inner part of the protoplanetry disk is closer to the sun thats why it is the hottest and denser part and composed of the materials like Iron, silicates, carbon as they have high melting points. Then comes those materials that exist in the solid form at lower temperatures such as the volatile materials like water. Ater that the protoplanetry disk is made of highly volatile materials that exists in solid from only at low coldest temperatures. So the outer part of the protoplanetry disk is made up of the Methane, Ammonia and Carbon Dioxide.

An electric furnace runs 13 hours a day to heat a house during January (31 days). The heating element has a resistance of 7.2 an

liq [111]

Answer:

cost of running the furnace during January is $5619.62

Explanation:

given data

runs a day = 13 hours

January days = 31 days

resistance = 7.2 ohm

current = 16.7 A

cost of electricity = $0.10/kWh

to find out

cost of running the furnace during January

solution

first we get her power consumed by furnace that is

Power consumed = $\frac{I^2}{R}$ ........1

put here value we get

Power consumed = $\frac{16.7^2}{7.2}$

Power consumed = 38.7347 W

and

Power consumed by furnace in one hour is

Power consumed by furnace in one hour is = Power consumed × 3600

Power consumed by furnace in one hour is = 38.7347 × 3600

Power consumed by furnace in one hour is 139.445kWh

and

Power consumed by furnace in the month of January is

Power consumed by furnace in the month of January = 139.445kWh × 13 hours × 31 days

Power consumed by furnace in the month of January = 56196.335 kWh

cost of running the furnace during January is = $0.10/kWh × 56196.335 kWh

cost of running the furnace during January is $5619.62

Vesna [10]

Missing question in the text:
"A.What are the magnitude and direction of the electric field at the point in question?

B.<span>What would be the magnitude and direction of the force acting on a proton placed at this same point in the electric field?"</span>

<span>Solution:

A) A charge q </span>under an electric field of intensity E will experience a force F equal to:

$F=qE$

In our problem we have $q=-2.5 nC=-2.5\cdot 10^{-9} C$ and $F=18 nN = 18 \cdot 10^{-9} N$ , so we can find the magnitude of the electric field:

$E= \frac{F}{q}= \frac{18\cdot 10^{-9}N}{2.5\cdot 10^{-9}C}=7.2 V/m$

The charge is negative, therefore it moves against the direction of the field lines. If the force is pushing down the charge, then the electric field lines go upward.

B) The proton charge is equal to

$e=1.6\cdot 10^{-19} C$

Therefore, the magnitude of the force acting on the proton will be

$F=eE=1.6\cdot 10^{-19} C \cdot 7.2 V/m=1.15 \cdot 10^{-18} N$

And since the proton has positive charge, the verse of the force is the same as the verse of the field, so upward.
